Red light cameras activated Tuesday at 2 Arlington intersections

Getting cited for running red lights at two Arlington intersections starting Tuesday is no April Fool’s.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page notes red-light cameras will be turned on at Merrill Road and Townsend Boulevard and Arlington Road and Cesery Boulevard. A 30-day grace period will ensure violators get mailed warnings rather than the $158 ticket they’ll have to pay afterward.

There are now 18 intersections where the cameras are active as part of a program that began a year ago.
